Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 16 What’s his is mine

Lü Bocheng was startled when someone grabbed his neck.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Liu Juye. He was so angry that he kicked him.

Liu Juye dodged him with a smile.

Soon he came up again, put his arm around his shoulder, and smiled evilly: "I saw it, why don't you tell the truth! I was wondering why people kept telling me that they saw you looking out at the city gate early in the morning. I don't know what you were doing. It turned out to be the Wife-Looking Stone."

Lü Bocheng's face became hot when he heard it, and he punched him in the chest: "What Wife-Looking Stone! Do you have to say it so harshly!"

Liu Juye laughed: "Isn't it the Wife-Looking Stone? For two consecutive days, I have been guarding the town gate before dawn. Today I finally waited for someone."

Lü Bocheng ignored him and walked away.

He was going back to catch up on his sleep. He was so sleepy after getting up so early.

He took two steps and saw Liu Juye still following him. He turned around and looked at him seriously.

Liu Juye was scared, and he protected his chest with his hands for fear that he would come again.

"Have you started to work for your father?" Lu Bocheng asked.

Liu Juye felt relieved.

He walked over and put his hand on his back: "My father has been seeking a miscellaneous official position in the county. He is addicted to officialdom. He issues orders at home when he has nothing to do, and makes my mother and I run around. Who made me his son? Isn't it called up early in the morning to run errands?"

Lu Bocheng was a little envious after hearing this. For the first time, he felt that it was a good thing to have a reputation.

Liu Juye's father was just a scholar, and he was not conscripted in these two conscriptions. Most of his friends who grew up together were conscripted.

Now his father has found another official position. Although he is a low-ranking official, as a miscellaneous official in Pingchuan County, he can also receive a salary and certain benefits. In Fengting Town, no one will easily provoke him.

If he had not been angry with his family at the beginning and studied hard, maybe... he could also have a wife and children around him.

He shook his head to shake off some thoughts.

He looked at Liu Juye steadily and said, "After I leave, if she needs help with anything, I hope you can lend a hand for the sake of our long-term friendship. I am grateful to you, brother."

After that, he bowed to Liu Juye solemnly.

Liu Juye was startled and jumped away.

"What are you doing? Who are we talking to? Hey, are you serious?"

Lu Bocheng rolled his eyes at him and turned away. If you are not serious, I will bow to you! I am free!

"Hey, hey, don't leave, are you serious? Doesn't it meet your standards? Do you really like it?"

Liu Juye chased after him while yelling.

Su Qingying didn't know what happened in the alley of South Street.

She picked cloth with Su's mother in the dazzling cloth shop.

Su's mother weighed the silver in her arms, touched this and looked at that, and couldn't make up her mind.

"Mother, these are too bright, let's choose something plainer."

"How can a newly married young lady wear something so plain? She should wear something brighter." Su's mother said as she picked up the red cloth in her hand and showed the shop assistant how to cut it.

Su Qingying had a headache: "But, mother, Lu Bocheng will leave after the wedding, and I'm alone at home. If I wear such bright clothes, aren't you afraid that people will say something bad about me?"

Su's mother paused when she heard it.

That's right, the husband is fighting outside, and his life or death is unknown. The young lady is alone at home wearing red and green... No, no!

Su's mother decisively pushed the cloth in her hand back.

The shopkeeper who was using the abacus in the corner came over immediately after hearing this, pushed aside the clerk who was patiently accompanying him in the selection, and said to Su's mother and the others, "So you are the in-laws of Lu's grocery store. Lu Bocheng hired your daughter, right?" Su's mother nodded after hearing this, "Does the shopkeeper know him?" The shopkeeper smiled at Su's mother and said, "I just heard it. If you are talking about Lu's eldest son, of course I know him. We both run shops in the town, and his family has been running for many years, so we know each other." After saying this, he looked at Su Qingying and agreed with what she had just said. He secretly praised her in his heart, thinking that this girl seemed to be a wise person. After Lu Bocheng left, maybe this girl could keep the house for him. So he enthusiastically recommended it to Su's mother. Su Qingying also learned a lot from him. The shopkeeper was very good at talking, and helped to choose a lot of things, which were very in line with Su Qingying's aesthetics. Soon, there was a pile of cloth on the counter. Mother Su was so happy to choose. When it was time to pay, she was dumbfounded by the pile.

The family originally gave only one or two taels of silver, which was not enough.

The shopkeeper understood it at a glance.

He took some more from it: "It's not easy for you two to take it. Keep these to make clothes first. When your daughter gets married in the town in the future, she can buy them whenever she needs them. It's convenient."

Su Qingying felt that this shopkeeper was really good at talking and being a man.

She smiled and said: "I want all of them. Take the extra ones home to make two sets for your younger brother, sister-in-law, father and mother."

The shopkeeper smiled and put the cloth down again, and said to Mother Su: "You have raised a good daughter. She is filial."

Mother Su smiled at him, then turned back and glared at Su Qingying.

In addition to the one or two taels of silver given by her family, she also had three taels of silver given by Master Su's family yesterday. The silver on her should be enough to pay. But she also wanted to buy Qingying a silver bracelet and silver earrings.

Before she could hesitate, Su Qingying took out the purse given by Lu Mingcheng and paid the money.

Su's mother widened her eyes. Where did this girl get the money? She only had two taels of silver on her, and this piece of cloth was nearly three taels.

"Mom, let's talk later."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Shopkeeper, we have to go shopping again. Can these cloths be stored here?"

"Yes, yes. Why not? Just go shopping and pick it up later."

Su Qingying thanked the shopkeeper and pulled Su's mother out.

As soon as she walked out, Su's mother grabbed her and asked her about the origin of the money.

"Given by Lu Bocheng."

"ah?"

Su Qingzha took out his purse and looked inside: "There should be more than ten taels left. That's enough."

Su's mother reacted and slapped her angrily: "How can you ask for his money? We haven't married yet. You are giving and receiving in private. Others have seen it and you don't know how to talk about it."

Su Qingying rolled her eyes towards the sky. Is she afraid of others talking? Is she someone who is afraid of other people making irresponsible remarks?

Now that they have decided to get married, they are a couple who share honor and disgrace. Do they still need AA? Of course his money also belongs to her, and she will certainly spend it on him when she makes money in the future.

Seeing that Su Qingying looked at ease, Su's mother slapped her hard a few more times.

Thinking of something, he asked again: "Also, I clearly said I came after breakfast at home this morning, why did you still have breakfast with him? And you still winked at me?"
